Changes at Posts 13 and 33 on March 22, 2025
Until further notice, the vehicle lanes at Post 33 will be closed. All vehicular traffic will need to enter the protected area through Post 8.
There will be two pedestrian lanes open at Post 33 from 5 a.m. through 8 a.m. After that time, the post will drop down to one pedestrian lane that will remain open until 8 p.m.
As a reminder, Post 13 has reduced from two vehicle lanes to one and will be closed completely at noon each day. This modification will cause some delays entering the site in the morning from both Posts 13 and 23 as well as increased commercial traffic at Post 23. Additionally, some backups may occur at Post 23 in the afternoons as employees leave the site.
Please exercise caution and practice patience as the site adjusts to these new traffic patterns.

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a list of banned and flagged tools not to be used onsite at Y-12. The ban applies to all Y-12 site work, including subcontractors. Work is to be planned to avoid use of these tools. Subcontractors with these tools should stop use immediately and replace the banned tool no later than September 3, 2024. All new on site subcontracts effective September 3, 2024 will have this requirement as part of the site access requirements. Use of flagged tools may be conditionally approved with approval of a Sr. Director or Vice President prior to use. Read more...
